Cathy,

The only record that I found for the above names was on the paid site Roots Ireland...it is Christopher Conlan's baptism record:

28 Mar 1767, residence - Ballinagall, RC parish of Nobber, parents - Christopher Conlan & Mary Fitzsimons, sponsors - Robert Chambers & Catharine Finegan.

The baptism records for this parish begin in 1754 and the marriage records in 1757, so the marriage and son's baptism records should be there. Have you searched using variations of the surname Conlan?

Regards,

Carolyn

Cathy,

As Carolyn suggested you might try different variations of Conlan. On Ancestry, I found Conlan, Conlin, Conlon, Connellan.

NameJames Connellan
GenderMale
Event TypeMarriage
Marriage DateJun 1842
Marriage PlaceKells, Ireland, Ireland
DioceseMeath
SpouseRose Connell

There are 113 Trees for this family on Ancestry. A Cliff Sheehan has one and he identifies Mary Pursell as the mother. You might want to contact him to see if he has a record.

Regards- Mary

Cathy,

I just located a marriage record for Christopher Conlon and Mary Duffy on 3 Feb 1765, both of their addresses were Cruisetown, RC parish of Nobber. The witnesses were Patrick Kelly & Margaret Plunkett. Townlands.ie shows that there are two places called "Cruicetown" in Meath.

Regards,

Carolyn

RootsIreland (paid subscription)- Since Christopher was born in 1767, I assume his marriage is closer to 1790.

Censuses suggest James could have been born between 1802-1820. Something to look at?? How do you know Christopher was his father?
